"Around 6:15 pm, his commanding officer and some other officers came to meet me. He said “Ma'am we have lost Akshay. He was martyred around 8:30 am.” My world collapsed. I was inconsolable. I wish I had texted him. I wish I had hugged him goodbye. I wish I had told him I loved him one last time," Sangeeta wrote, recollecting the time she got to hear the news about her husband's passing.Talking about how she along with her little daughter have learned to cope with the loss in the course of time, Sangeeta wrote: "At first, it was difficult to explain to Naina what had happened but now her papa is a star in the sky. Today, I have set up my own place with the things we had collected. He is there alive and speaking to us through the pictures and the memories we created. We smile through our tears because we know that’s what he would have wanted us to do."Read the full-post from 'BeingYou' below:
